8 Exact Decisions That Doomed Horror Movie Protagonists

6. Shaming Ganush - Christine "Drag Me To Hell"

Midsommar movie

Sam Raimi's Drag Me To Hell was a fun addition to the supernatural horror sub-genre, and although lacking in actual scariness, it did manage to provide a relatively well-rounded plot and twist in its final few moments.

Protagonist Christine finds herself head-to-head with a fellow colleague for a big promotion at her place of work as a bank loan officer. She meets Ganush, an Eastern European Roma lady who is looking for another extension on her mortgage to stop her house being repossessed, however moments earlier we learn that Christine has been told by her boss that in order to be in the running for the promotion she is going to need to prove that she can make difficult decisions.

This particular difficult decision comes in the form of rejecting Ganush's mortgage extension request, which results in Christine being ambushed by Ganush in the parking lot shortly after and the old woman cursing one of Christine's buttons that she rips from her coat.

As you can imagine, the remainder of the film is Christine trying to find ways to lift the curse that was put on her, and serves as a lesson to those who act in their own self interest.
